Overview

Ky Kiske is a well rounded character with tools that fundamentally lean into Missing Link's core mechanics. On top of that, he has a checkmate with his Instant Kill Sakkai loop. Although he is on the simple side, he is very potent.

Lore:	A captain of the Sacred Knights, and is very cool in this game. Did you know he was only nineteen and yet he was still duking it out with the best of them? And he's only 23 in this one. Becomes less cool over time.
Voice:	Takeshi Kusao

Playstyle

Ky is a well well rounded character with an exceptional instant kill attack.
Pros	Cons
Instant Kill Checkmate: Ky has the best instant kill in the game. It's fast, has great range, anti-airs, whiff punishes, and most importantly, loops into itself on successful escape. This means that on block, unless a character has a reversal, they're stuck for the rest of the match, and on hit, they're just stuck. Long Normals: Ky has among the longest normals in the game and most are partially, albeit not fully, disjointed. Good Fireball: Stun edge is a strong tool in neutral and pressure, especially when charged. Strong Throw: Ky's throw is one of the few that launches opponents at a low angle, allowing him to get pressure off it a lot of the time.	Long Recovery on Normals: While they're long ranged, many of Ky's normals also have ludicrously long recovery. Whiffing his slashes can be a death sentence. Wide Hurtbox: While it's not the tallest, Ky has one of the widest hurtboxes in the game, making him susceptible to counter pokes and whiff punishes. He's also one of the only characters in the game that can be crossed up in corner.

Incredibly good jump in. The move is technically a projectile that appears below Ky, making it heavily disjointed. Even the biggest anti-airs will struggle to contest it. Also for some reason has a pair of hurtboxes around two character lengths behind himself that can be hit, although this is difficult and is mostly irrelevant.

FATAL	All	8	8	5	N/A	N/A	Above Knees

Best instant kill in the game. It's really big, fast, and most importantly, loops into itself with no chance of escape outside of reversals. This gives Ky one of the best win conditions in the game, only needing to hit his instant kill once as long as he has the life lead.
